Randon Student at School Today: "Um, can I ask you something?"
Me: "Sure. What's up?"
Randon Student: "So... do you read?"
Me: <wondering if this is a trick question since I AM a librarian afterall> "Um, yeah...?"
RS: "Like, a lot?"
Me: "Yeah...?"
RS: "Did you start when you were little?"
Me: <wondering where in the heck this is going> "Uh-huh...?"
RS: "Oh. Well, I just read this really good book."
Me: <loving it when a student has a good reading experience> "Cool! What book?"
RS: "The Deed of Paksenarrion. Have you read it?"
Me: "No, I haven't. But it was really good, huh? Do you think we should get it for the library?"
RS: "Yeah. My mom recommended it to me. I'd never read such a... such a..."
Me: <knowing where this is going now> "Such an 'old' book?"
RS: "Yeah! And it was so good!"
Me: <slightly sarcastically> "Yep, 'old' books can be good too! What, was it, like, from the '80s's or something?"
RS: "Yeah, how'd you know?!"
Me: <laughing now> "Oh, geez! Sweetie, I'm older than the '80's! Thanks a lot!"
